The NEW St. Louis Downtown

St. Louis is not the first city to take downtown revitalization head on, but it is being increasingly recognized throughout the country for it's revitalization efforts downtown. USA Today, NPR and the Wall Street Journal have all recognized the new St. Louis downtown. The new downtown is inspired by rich history and architecture. The transformation efforts are supported by innovative partnerships and driven by a deep commitment to preservation and progress. The new St. Louis downtown has created a new generation of entrepreneurs and community leaders. Momentum is still building downtown. The dramatic growth is still being fueled by real estate developments; some have yet to be developed.

One property I think is particular interesting is Sky House. The $67 million, 22-story condo tower in the heart of the Washington Avenue loft district. The tower is the largest new construction residential building proposed for downtown St. Louis. Sky House is being developed by Chicago-based Metropolitan Development Enterprises. The building will house 166 condos, with prices starting in the mid-$200,000s. One-, two- and three-bedroom units will be available the size will range between 850 and 2,230 square feet. The top three floors will feature 12 penthouse units. The building will have 13,000 square feet of retail space, and 200+ parking spots will be built into the structure. A rooftop recreational area will include a pool, fitness center and dog run. Each of the condo units will feature floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies.
